AI simplified
Abstract
Only 7.43% of children and adolescents complied with all quarantine requirements.
- Compliance with community protective measures was higher at 17.35% compared to 10.71% for household measures.
- Quarantined children and adolescents reported significantly greater psychological distress than their non-quarantined peers (p ˂0.001).
- Common feelings experienced during quarantine included worry (68.59%), helplessness (66.11%), and fear (61.98%).
- The findings indicate that low compliance with quarantine measures may limit the effectiveness of quarantine in preventing disease transmission.
- Improving compliance and mental health support could involve enhanced financial assistance and better education about pandemic planning.
